Using a wealth of rich visual imagery and stories from owners around the world, Home Away From Home looks at the world of camper vans and motorhomes from Airstream to Winnebago, via the ubiquitous VW bus.
Lars Eriksen and Kate Trant outline the cultural and social history of the camper van and motorhome in the USA, UK, and Europe, looking at a range of phenomena from surf and hippy cutlure, to family holidays and travel in retirement years. The role of the motorhome as an element of an 'alternative' lifestyle is looked at too; including the phenomenon of bus conversions - Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, and surf culture through one of its most lasting icons, the VW Bus.
Finally, Home Away From Home explores future possibilities for independent automotive travel, alongside comtemporary approaches to 'compact living', drawing parallels between motorhome culture and the many non-automaotive trappings of a modern urban lifestyle, from ipods, Wi-Fi hotspots and mobile phones, to walkmans, laptops and rucksacks.
